:: Here are the list of names for tropical cyclones occuring within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). The first tropical cyclone of the year starts with the name beginning in letter A as in AURING under column 1 for 2009 and so on down the list as one disturbance succeeds another. The 5th year (2013) will bring us back to column 1 of AURING. In the event that the number of tropical cyclones occurring within the year exceeds 25, an auxiliary list is used, the first ten of which are under each group.  To view the NW Pacific/South China Sea International Names, click HERE.
